Yes I have played the beta. I also really like the creativeness WoWs
graphics. Still you cant look at Diablo 3 and say it doesnt resemble WoW.
Undetailed drawn textures and cartoon characters with big unrealistic
armor. Have you seen the tiers? Theres no darkness. Just childish blue and
green hues. I know almost nothing about Path of Exile but it pretty much
nails the graphic style. Something similar would be awesome for D3. No
distributing points no skills and stuff. Too easy. No mod support
@MrFiddleedee I'm a redneck because I bring forth facts? What exactly was
wrong with twhat I said? You act like I was condoning the abuse of women.
Some poster made an asinine statement saying that 99% of domestic violence
cases have the woman as the victim. I posted studies showing otherwise, he
persisted, I argued. Simple. Facts wtfpwn emotional childish outbursts so I
will take solace in my logic here as well as my reasoning capability are
far beyond yours. Hence, why I'm not all pissy.
@MrFiddleedee You're just grasping at one straw after the other. Can you
even wrap your brain around how pathetic you are? Unable to defend your own
opinion and too hard-headed to admit it, you seek to blame me instead of
looking at yourself. First, I'm Chris Metzen, then I'm a redneck, then I'm
a pretentious New Yorker (Not New York City though, so let me save you the
time for the whole yankey bit). Stick to your point instead of trying to
weasel out of it cause you know you're wrong.
Hello guys :) this is my 2 cent about the AH drama ... We all know that one
way or the other people will sell items some some retarded rednecks will
buy items BUT here is the catch ... if the asian farmers can make a buck
from the rednecks why cant YOU? i mean think of this way .. you are playng
a game wich you like and have a decent chance of makeing real life money.
(remember people will sell items even if they remove the RL money AH)
@StormProductionzZ Red doesn't look it look realistic either, so that's not
even better. I haven't seen any dark screenshot where it isn't green, blue
or red. If you're denying that the color palette used in Diablo 3 is
different, check out this video: watch?v=LwB2L8DbadY Yes, it's an old
video, but it doesn't seem much different from these screenshots. And yes,
that might be a little too dark, but I'm talking about the colors.
Game looks really dark in a lot of these screenshots. Pretty exciting. PS:
Game isn't pay to play, so stop trolling. I don't like the RMAH either but
it's optional, not too mention there is no RMAH at all on Hardcore. Even
though i hated it at first, is 3rd party websites selling items much
better? I know diablo 2 economy was destroyed anyway, at least the AH is
run by the players and not gold farming sites.
@MadBagOfHorses I don't think it looks bad, however it still has many of
the cartoony effects. Yes, it's dark at 1:04, but why is it green? Diablo
2's graphics were quite realistic looking, unlike this. However I'm not
complaining, some of those screenshots look way better than what I've seen
before. However I'd love it if it had more of the gothic look from it's
predecessors.
@mkim1224 Blizz focus on having the best running game, not the best
looking. They focus on what is mostly dismissed by other developers and
that is a deep, rewarding system that is balanced and always up to scratch
in nearly every aspect. Go jack off to Battlefied 3s trailer, leave my
diablo alone.
Not old fotage, even though it says 2008? I linked that video because it
was edited, but maybe that was too hard for you to understand. It would
work to make it really similar, what wouldn't work is the lightning.
Blizzard are just denying everything that has to do with a darker color
palette.
@necrazzar we might know perhaps in 2 days about that.. Have you signed up
for a beta in battle.net you will get a e-mail when and if you got the
chance to get it. However, they will send in waves, so if you dont get one
first, perhaps you might get one later - if your lucky.
@aejt I could not agree more; however, the kids that have never played
Diablo will not care, the generation that has only played WOW, will not
care what the graphics look like, but for the old school players, this shit
is gay. Maybe it's time to move on, so weak.
They shouldn't complain about "not being dark enough", they should complain
about online SP and real money auction house. Since the rm auction house is
anonymous, what's to stop them from click generating items and then selling
them for real paper.
@MrFiddleedee You don't have to do ANYTHING with your real money to put up
with others... You have a choice to choose if you want to keep up with
others really fast or go do some real hard work... also, you can buy the
same gear with gold
Give examples please. The graphics look nothing like diablo 1 or 2. They
didnt draw SOME inspiration. More like MAJOR inspiration. Also at least in
the beta the music sucked or was nonexistant most of the time. Just some
lame ambient.
How about no. Game looks nothing like Diablo 1 or 2. Tristram looks like
Darkshire from wow and everything is like a halloween party. Stop lying.
The only way to make the D3 look better is to lower gamma and download
darkd3.
As well if you want an unbiased perspective on the RMAH as all the
fan-sites are corrupt whores due to Blizz hanging cushy invites over there
heads, this guy is the real deal: /watch?v=GBrESZJlNvQ&feature=f%ADeedu
@Alchael haha yeah im seriously excited, if this is act one and they say it
gets darker and darker as we go thru the acts :D plus the wizard is looking
badass and she is who im going to play first so :D
@mkim1224 The first glimpse of Starcraft 2 was bad too but Blizzard fixed
it. I do agree with you but I'm sure blizzard will update the textures and
switch around the models etc.
@aejt That's not old footage dumbass it's just an edited version of it
through a video editor, not through the games actual engine. Jay Wilson
already said this wouldn't work.
@MrFiddleedee Ugggggggggggggh, this "feature" has been around since Diablo
2. Why bitch about it now? Just because Blizzard is supporting it
themselves? They had no choice.
@700007123 oh did i hit a nerve there ?? im sorry... wait a sec no im not
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH of course ur used to that how wouldnt u be u belive that u r
so smart u can think in more ways then 1 but what the fuck do u need your
brains for if everybody is just pushing u everyday a bit closer to the edge
see u will snap that will happen one way or another and when u do no1 will
give a fuck HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH i tell ya i would really love to se just
1 day of ur little pathetic life. pussy.
@nixX258 You're mentally weak. First you leave a whiny comment with caps
lock and don't even try to solve the problem. After I posted my troll reply
you went ape shit and tried to shut me up with comment typical to stupid
teenagers (basically saying go fuck yourself).. then you tried to be calm.
Didn't work. As a last solution you're using the retard tactic which
includes laughing with caps lock, pulling stuff out of your ass and just
trying to annoy by being stupid. Didn't work. Kid.
@700007123 a lot of things first beeing the fact that u jerk out on people
on youtube when u have a bad day. second would be a superman cat on ur
profile picture dont know why it just looks... i think that the word is
retarded. and third thing would be ur regular subscription to Quick healthy
meals" (wanna be) and that u think that u are the smartest guy in ur
company but u r dumb as shit u have no street inteligence u just think u do
u are simplay put: pathetic excuse for a human.
@700007123 HAHAHHAAHHAAHHAAHHA this is funny. wanna hear my conclusion
about this whole thing ? well what do i care ill say it anyway see u are a
little pussy see u wouldnt dare to do this in the real life because u would
get a K.O. but u do it here bc u know ur safe HAHAHAHAHHAHA do u have
friends xDD ?? damn what would i give just to see 1 day of ur life xD i
think that lough would be priceless every1 bullying u u can only stare in
the flore bc u r weak AHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
It's coming out Q1 2012, which means the first quarter of the year. But,
then again, they could end up changing that.... Razor has a bad habit of
doing that. (Coming out Q1 2010!... 3 months later... Coming Q3 2010!)
Douchebags. I've been waiting for this game forever. Just fucking release
it already. Everyone's losing their interest.
@nixX258 So you had time for this afterall. You thought; fuck it! I'm going
to embarrass myself with even more retarded comment. You just couldn't shut
up when you saw my last reply. Lets see what you answer to this one. Calm
down kid, take a candy. Little pussy.
i always loved this music, just when you finished act 1.. i was so happy
killing andy... then this music started and a new act lies in front of me..
when hearing this music... i think maybe act 2 is my favorite of all :)
gotta love the tombs!!
@cristydeck666 for the same reason most of D2 classes arnt in D3 too. and
items, or places, or anything else. most, if not all music tracks will be
new. it would be lame if they re-used tracks to much.
@14762533 He wasn't fired, he left the company just as most of the rest of
the D2 team did. Blizz North made D2 and they don't exist anymore. A lot of
them left and went and made Hellgate.
@horamerda2 not really go to d3 community site and there's a topic called
Blizzard-Diablo information and it has some cool info. Whether its true or
not idk cause im not at blizzcon
@Disterric23 exactly all the big announcements were already made in the
past couple years and blizzcons. now in about maybe 5 to 6 months cuz beta
out, game will be releases i hope.
The screens here do look rather spooky. I never had problem with the
so-called "bright atmosphere" of Diablo III, but this really seems to be
coming up nicely. I'm excited.
@nixX258 Yes, you hit a nerve by calling me a weak little pussy. Brb gonna
go kill myself. What makes you think anything you said about my life? I
wanna hear this.
@nixX258 yeah youtube is bullshit if you want to take off adds google
adblocker or something i used a google program to take off all ads so its
back to normal.
@nixX258 I didn't feel the need to and you're just pulling stuff out of
your ass. Even if I did it wouldn't matter since I could as well talk to a
goat.
Greetings, honored traveler. I am Jerhyn, Lord of Lut Gholein, and I bid
you welcome to my fair port city.
Diablo 3 - NEW Beta Screenshots with Analysis
If you want more D3 videos, be sure to click that like button. This video analyzes a gallery of screenshots with images originating from many different points in ...
@Danos138 Rushing to an armor isn;t a bad thing and as for Diablo.. if you
truly wanted to play.. there was only one build you could go for each
class... and the same abilities per class. Amazon? You maxed spread shot..
Barbarian? You had WW and Leap.. no questions..... this way you don;t have
to worry... and you will be able to mix and match whatever you want.
i think removing the allocation of stat points is a bad idea. sure once
players understood certain builds you could min/max your stats but without
control over that theres no room for the styles to evolve like in D2, or to
rush to armour types you gave to your lowbie like the sigons set or w/e.
@XJadynX i was talking about the removal of the stat points strength and
what not with that being normalized every single barbarian will be the same
except gear. i guess they are doing this because of the pvp elements they
are putting into Diablo 3.
A helpful hint ;D the box brakes down items into scrap and various
materials so they take up less space. at 8:54 or around there the screen
with the armor and sword is the salvaging box not the cauldron. thnx for
the vids :3
@orioncheung he doesn't do a better job this is allot of old screenshots if
you know so far al the news of diablo 3 then you can see which are new or
old aka the talisman, 7 slots for skills
Nice vid, one thing though: Chiped Flawed Normal Flawless Perfect, so
that's 5 :) Also I've heared that the talisman is removed [at least in
beta], and with it the charms as well.
Figured some people haven't taken the time to look at these so I picked out 100 and edited them together. All screenshots used are from Blizzards website: ...
@rockman22 Then I realized the screenshot tended to look cartoonish and
bright due to these effects. The screenshots were only screenshots. 3. Some
of the effects were impressive. For example, Blizzard used very unique and
stylish art design. The effect of river flowing was very well done and
noticeable. Many animations and effects had very detailed and descriptive
motions. 4. Overall, the graphics were not too special. But the mood,
atmosphere, effects and details were impressive,
@rockman22 Agreed. However, from many other beta testers who actually got
invited to Blizzard HQ, they said it was actually isn't. Just like us, they
thought D3 is gonna look like WoW (which is just no no for D),but this is
how they expressed. "1. We tried Act 1, and the first thing I noticed was
the mood was much darker and gloomier than we expected. This was Diablo :)
2. Because of much more dynamic effects and such as bloom effect, the game
looked much better than before.
We just got a blue post by Bashiok stating that kotaku got it all wrong it
should say "By the end of September" not "By September" . Sorry everyone
for the misleading information...i was so sure that it would be this month
( But! There is still a chance so don't count out August. Just don't get
your hopes up, okay ? )
some crazy ass mother effer knowing somebody inside blizzard is now
definately playing giablo III beta... instead of me... it's like somebody
moves to another planet, better than Earth and sends you daily picture from
that place bragging about it.... START THE GOD DAMN PUBLIC BETA ALREADY
@azyrewrath I just posted link ... "Diablo III's beta will hit by
September, hopefully before, Blizzard game director Jay Wilson said during
a Gamescom press conference today. When's the game coming out? "When it's
ready." Got it?" He said that in interview so stop bitching.
the only problem with this game is the already outdated graphics before its
even been released... now if it had the graphics of path of exile. then we
would definitely have a worthy game on out hands no doubt. but these
graphics are ehhh mmmehh oldie...
some people like the realistic type graphics, i don't not for blizzard
games there graphics always have been unique and i like that. wc2 graphics
alone is what brought me into blizz games and thats now all i play and have
played forl ike 10 years
Hmm, would it be possible if I made different accounts for different
locations, and applied a beta key for each? I even had alot of my friends
that dont give a damn about dIII sign up for one, just incase, so they can
give it to me :P
@SxeScotty if I don't get one I will sign a pact with the devil and join
you.. heck I would give away my SW:ToR beta key if I could guarantee myself
a diablo 3 one(ps dont ask me about ToR.. I cant say anything)
If you think this game will spend 2 weeks on beta you're high on crack or
something maybe meth I donno, but you're high as fuck. Plus, can't you mmo
nerds just be happy with wow; play that shit and stfu? please?
when the wing will be selling the game!? My laptop has a question
2-generation Intel Core i7 6GB of RAM 1TB 525m gt 1GB nividia gforce
believe they have enough to play diablo 3 xD?
@rockman22 yea not gonna sugar coat it. the graphics look like shit
honestly! D2 looked more photo-realistic then this bullshit. still gonna
buy it though. oh blizzard...
@Falckjazz haha yeah it kind of does actually, the spell effect looks like
something i could draw in photoshop in about 4 minutes, and the area isnt
so impressive
@EvilsAngels94 wasnt bitching was was just saying PROVE IT so dont get all
pissy...
TUN: Stay awhile, and listen to me gripe about Diablo 3
Contains spoilers for all three games Music: The intro: Diablo dungeon theme Part one: Respiration (Instrumental) by Mos Def Story part: Diablo Tristram theme ...
Thank you for explaining what made the original Diablo games so good. It
feels as if the real Chris Metzen was murdered shortly after the end of
Wrath of the Lich King, and replaced with the writer of Power Rangers.
+Ciel You know... I'm Power Rangers fan and I like some silly stories in this series. On the other hand I F***ing hate Starcraft 2 plot and many things in Diablo 3.
+hexatentacle Actually, I think he doesn't have anything to do with first two Diablo games (at least with the first one).Diablo was made by Blizzard North, a studio that used to go under the name Condor and was bought by Blizzard about a half year before the game's release.I also think that none of The Big 4 (main creative force behind Blizzard North) stayed with Blizzard after Blizzard North was shut down.I know for a fact that at least one of them went and made Torchlight 1 & 2 (great games, if you ask me), though.
D3 is much better now (more builds, can modify items, more sorts of items,
much higher drop rate, new gems, paragon levels, new act, seasons, "maps").
The only bad thing is that you cant trade anymore.
Vanilla D3 was pretty bad now when I look back, it was ONLY about farming
and the legendaries had extramly low drop rate and were mostly worse than
rares.
+sablar123321123 Sorry, long comment here. I agree that the mechanics of the game are better now, but not that the game really "good" yet, you know? It's playable now, if you want the loot fix. The thing is that none of that changes the atmosphere or the plot, yeah? They fixed the mechanics, but there's still not much to the game but farming. What else can you call speed running GRifts? It's just farming XP. It's about progressing a couple stat points at a time after the huge leap that is getting your big set bonus together. There's no narrative, no gravity. It's a world tour. The monsters are (barely) speed bumps, all the classes can slaughter packs of demons with ease. No need for careful play, just plow through.The first Diablo is about contact with demons never really ending well for the humans. The heroes from the first game? They're the bosses of the second, driven mad and now serving the demons. The Warrior? Soulstone in his forehead. D3? The Butcher = Pro Wrestler. Bland. They have so little dialogue in this game and yet none of it is good. It might as well not be there at all. Leah? We should care about her? I mean, the characters are programmed to be upset about the fates of Cain and Leah. But me? I was upset about Cain but not because of anything in this game. And Leah? It's the not believing in demons that seems to start things off poorly. I mean, how can you not believe in demons in this world? You're living next to a town that was destroyed by them a few years ago. Cain is an expert on monsters. It's just... really? Ugh. I just had a moment where my character is all "Cain, I will avenge you," and I'm like "YOU KNEW HIM FOR 10 MINUTES!"And Blizzard couldn't even put together a single compelling act in the expansion. First you're in a human city as it burns, and that's great, it's moving. Probably the best section of the game. There's mini-dungeons all over with bits of plot and world-building. It feels alive. Then you're in the swamp and everything sucks, then more unmemorable ruins, more unmemorable battlefields, and a disjointed teleporter mess of a final dungeon, and ultimately Diablo wins.
Err.. don't even get me started on Path of Exile. That shit is all about
clicking, loot, and min-maxing. It's even worse than D3 as most builds rely
on 2-3 active abilities and a shit ton of passives, so you can easily play
it half-asleep.
+EVS2585 To my knowledge Divine Divinity was the only game to combine Diablo's gamplay into something... well, more than just that. It's a shame really.
While you do have a point that the game wasn't nearly the psychological
thriller that the first two were you're wrong that it didn't evoke emotion
on any number of levels. That you didn't feel so makes me wonder if you
skipped the cinematic shorts that broke up the quest segments and tuned out
the scripted dialogue in order to move on with the game.
All in all though I must say I was impressed by your dissection. It was
Significantly more rational and pointed than most of the others I've been
directed to by dissenting friends.
You were being polite? And I was the one being passive aggressive? Well, perhaps the second part was somewhat true, but the first certainly wasn't. Yes, i felt the need to roll my eyes and say go stuff it when you call a story I felt decent and entertaining "mindless dick measuring" that treated the player like a rat in a box and had no depth. Your continued comments hardly help your argument of civility.
I was very polite, until you started insulting me. Ironically, because you'd been offended "you sadden me" "neither your OPINION... IMPRESSED ME IN THE SLIGHTEST". Passive aggression is not invisible aggression.Lack of lighting, tell me exactly from what I was to derive THAT? Or where YOU got it.Yeah what words should I of read to get that mate- please. "Dark Souls weren't scary for their grimdark story or visuals, they were annoying." Yeah, lighting- how could I not see that. The problem here is I AM looking at the words we're both writing- unlike you. You've shamelessly repackages what I accused you off in my last point- or you're projecting I'm not sure which. Either way it's only true of one of us.As for the difficulty- I didn't say easier I said easy. The point was, the others didn't constantly talk about how big your dick was as you right clicked every mob.The others weren't character driven,. they were world driven. Like the word selection of a poet, detail and style can tell a story just as well if not better than exposition. This is the crux of show don't tell. And also much more important than the difference between a cast of characters that aren't the focus, and one which is but is C- all the same.As for me bringing up Dark Souls, once again it was an example. Shockingly I don't rate everything on a scale of 0-Dark Souls, this is just one thing it did well.I will respond civilly if you can, but better yet your shift from aggressive, to uber-defensive does not belie the fact that the ship is clearly sinking- There are lifeboats, I wont think any less of you, if you simply take a lifeboat and concede or walk away.
It sounded as if you were saying the limited lighting of both games were a bonus and added to the edginess of the game and I replied that that added little but irritation. The 'dark' story and setting weren't a problem, the lack of lighting was. It did little to help the setting, make it creepier or anything but get in the way.You're the one who brought up dark souls in the first place anyways.You're calling D3 characters cliches and cardboard cutouts, well, that's your opinion, but in diablo 1 and 2 they didn't even have that much character development, let-alone story. Not that I agree with you on that score, but if you're wanting to be completely subjective...That's completely besides the point though, you're trying to turn this into a versus debate where I was pointing out that his annalysis apparently managed to miss that the story of diablo 3 was just as present and each of the parts was easily as well developed as Diablos 1&2.I also don't get where you're coming from saying Diablo 3 is easier than 1 or 2. I've been playing them since they each came out too and all three were easy as fuck if you didn't up the player settings.That's actually something I liked about Dark souls, because it wasn't easy.Finally, he called himself a shallow arrogant contrarian in his opening speech, so take your condescension elsewhere and read the words rather than what you automatically assume because you've been offended.
I sadden you? You open your smarmy little comment by accusing the author of not even doing the basic leg-work and then proceed to demonstrate abysmal comprehension and go off on a tangent that completely missed the point (no-wonder you like Diablo 3 if you need things kept this simple). No sir, you sadden me. It wasn't about Diablo 2 being hard, because as you said it isn't- the point was that Diablo 3 pats you on the back and gives you a wink, 50 gold stars and an award for trying whenever you so much as press start. It treats you like the 'special little guy' you're making it really hard not to assume you are. If you think Diablo 3 is hard and makes you- makes you think, then that actually explains a lot.I never said scary 'little guy', I said they enthralled me in the world, the game never scared me. Shockingly, a game that treats it's audience like they are smarter than rats and expertly builds (,environment,) a distinct infectious world (,atmosphere,), will appeal to those of us who are fortunately smarter than rats.I'm assuming you don't mean the specific atmosphere of DS, you understood that Atmosphere was the point and Dark Souls was merely an example? Right? Not the other way round...just in case...You find dark things annoying? Well you must hate all classics- explains a lot. PS I don't think you know what grimdark means.Try Gothic, it's a word you might pick up if you ever read a book- dark souls isn't gritty, realistic or amoral..Elaborate characters in Diablo 3- what's wrong with you? Everybody was a cardboard cutout cliche. Think, how much was there really to any of those characters, now read Hamlet to give you a little context since you've clearly never touched a book (or in this case play). I don't expect Hamlet tiers of quality, but It's really hard to limbo Lower than D3 did on thisIt was not an opinion, it was an argument. Your inability to differentiate the two probably accounts for your disgraceful inability for the later, and the stupidity of the former. Nobody wants to impress you, you're impressed by Diablo 3 so to do so would be damning.Pull your head out of your ass, learn to deal with reality without morphing into a little bitch, and pick up a book your comprehension severely requires it.
+malanare you sadden me. Neither Diablo 1 nor 2 were difficult at all until you came up against the bosses, and even then you could avoid dying repeatedly by not being a derp. I was actually thrilled with Diablo 2 introduced a CHEAT to tell the game that there were 8 times the players active as were really on the board so I could actually have SOME challenge. You talk about atmosphere and suspense? Diablo 1 and Dark Souls weren't scary for their grimdark story or visuals, they were annoying. The only redeeming quality of Dark souls is that it made it as easy for you to die as for your enemies and I thought that added to immersion in a way most games outside of a FEW shooters manage.Diablo 2 is where things started enganging me for the franchise. The characters gained some form of depth, the maps seemed like reasonable terrain, the creatures were really demons rather than particularly nasty humans and skeletons.Diablo 3 there was actual elaboration of the characters, the creatures and abilities were diverse meaning you had to think about fighting them, the LOOKED like they might have come out of some chaotic nightmarish wasteland and it tied up alot of parts of the previous two games plot that made no sense in the many random game events. The author of the video talked about the first game as if the book pedistals were some grand story telling medium... but honestly it wasn't much better than a summery of "ok, this happened on this level and you're going for this miniboss".WOW.So no, while i was impressed by most of his breakdown neither your opinion of what made a game really good nor his impressed me in the slightest.
+Devon Stark But that's part of the problem, they have little to no connection to the content (especially pre RoS). Your character stomps effortlessly and mindlessly through fields of health bars, yet the game still acts like this is an uphill battle for anyone but the antagonists, even as they, and the main character get in on talking about how big said characters dick is.The cutscenes look good but so do some Michael Bay films, however when the obligatory crying scene is over it's just back to explosions and shameless audience masturbation.Most importantly, when I played through Dark Souls the game captured my imagination through atmosphere and environment, just like Diablo 2. That alone was enough in their hands to tell a beautiful story, but it motivated me to go back and learn everything about the world. In Diablo 3 they didn't care about these things, they literally treat you like a rat in a box- they never felt, how could you? That said, I and I'm sure the author of this video gave the story all the time it asked and It really was very weak, if you like it that's fine I like plenty of poorly made things, but know that it is just that.That said the RoS content was actually pretty good.
